Does anyone remember the year we did a candy buy back and collected over a ton of candy! We held a competition and the highest collection from a school received a donation to their PTO.
I still have the note from the final collections. Carrie and her kids weighed all of it!
We ended up sending a lot to the troops. But we still had SO MuCH candy left and a lot of unopened full bags! We went to multiple food pantries, blessings in a backpack, and even sent some back to the schools. 🥰. It was hard to make sure it all went somewhere, but it did!
This was 2022 and I was so stressed out about the entire thing and Carrie kept saying one day we will look back at this and laugh. Everyday more candy continued to show up, the phone didnt stop ringing, I was dreaming about it! And here we are! What a fun memory! 🥰
Pearson elementary received a $500.00 check from us that year, and since then we have continued to sponsor our local PTOs whenever we can!
This year we’ve already donated to many schools for their class shirts, fun runs, back to school parties, march is reading month and more! 🥰
